  1. Company/LLP
  2. Director/Designated Partner
  3. Manager/Secretary/Authorized Representative

In version 2, there was only a My workspace which holds the list of notices from MCA and circulars provided by them. But In version 3, there is a personalized “My Application” component that permits an individual to see all the forms filed by them to date including the status of the forms like pending for DSC upload, beneath processing, pay fees, resubmission, and others.
